In the style of a fast-paced graphic novel, this book tells the story of Rosa Parks and her act of defiance of the laws of segregation that inspired the Montgomery Bus Boycott and was a defining moment in the struggle for civil rights. A preface and afterword explain the context of her achievement, but the story itself is told in a dramatic visual sequence with inserted speech bubbles and minimal background text in a format with particular appeal to reluctant readers. New in paperback.
